Surface chemistry_XII Flashcards
Adsorption
Surface phenomenon.
Its the increase in concentration (aggregation) of any molecule at the surface rather than at bulk.
May occur above a ‘solid’ or ‘liquid’ surface. **(not gaseous surface =common sense hai gas pe koi particle kese ruk payega).
Adsorbent
Solid or liquid surface ON which molecular species are adsorbed.
Adsorbate
Molecular species which IS adsorbed on the surface.
Absorption is a _____ phenomenon whereas adsorption is ____ phenomenon.
A’b’sorption = ‘b’ulk phenomenon Adsorption = surface phenomenon
CaCl2 ______water vapours ; silica gel _____ water vapours.
Absorbs/adsorbs
CaCl2 absorbs water vapours ; silica gel adsorbs water vapours.
Desorption
When molecular species are removed from the surface.
Occlusion
Adsorption of gas on solid surface.
Adsorption is _______[exo/endo thermic] process.
Exothermic (heat is released).
Δ H -ve
Δ S -ve (entropy of gas molecules decreases)
For the process to be spontaneous, magnitude of;
Δ H
Δ G
Δ H > T ΔS i.e ΔG<0 (-ve)
On increasing temperature, magnitude of T ΔS _____ & ΔG _____.
Magnitude of T ΔS increases whereas |ΔG| decreases
Select correct statements regarding Physical adsorption (physisorption):
a) not specific.
b) reversible.
c) results in multilayer adsorption
d) not.
c) all of these.
All of these.
It decreases with increase in temperature.
Physisorption ______ with increase in temperature.
Decreases.
Chemisorption _______ with increase in temperature.
Increases with increase in surface area.
First increase , attains maximum & then decreases.
In Freundlich isotherm, value of 1/n & n ranges from?
1/n = 0.1 - 0.5
=> n = 2 - 10
According to ______theory all adsorption sites are equivalent.
Langmuir isotherm.
Greater the surafce area _____ is the rate if adsorption.
Greater.
Porous surfaces will show more rate of adsorption.
KClO3 ———>KCl +3/2 O2
Write the catalyst involved?
MnO2
Temp.= 400-600K
What’s promotor?
Increases activity of catalyst.
Eg,s MO & K2O are used in Haber’s process as promoter.
What’s poison?
Decreases activity of catalyst.
Egs., As, Co, Quinoline
SO2 + ½ O2 ———>SO3
Is an example of ?
Homogeneous catalysis, if catalyst used is NO (g)
Heterogeneous catalysis, if catalyst used in V2O5. [Contact process]
SO2 + ½ O2 ———>SO3
Is homogeneous catalysis if catalyst is
NO (g)
*reaction/process is called ‘lead chamber process’.
SO2 + ½ O2 ———>SO3
Is heterogeneous catalysis if catalyst used is
V2O5
*reaction/process is called CONTACT PROCESS .
This is one of 3 MOST IMPORTANT RXNS.
CH3COOC2H5 + H2O ———>CH3COOH + C2H5OH
Ester. Water. C.acid. Alcohol
whats the catalyst used for this homogeneous catalysis rxn.
H+ (aq.)
